Gimbal holder

[dxer]

I was inspecting things before sending my H for a service because of TB, drifting etc.. so when I flipped over H, I saw that there are no security holders on all 4 points where there are these rubbers for reducing jello effect. I marked on the image how this is on one side of the gimbal, it is only one holder through this rubber, and on the other side it is only one too.
is this how should be or there must be holders through all 4 rubbers ?

That is normal.

Where do you think the missing two are? It's obvious the plastic pin holds them in (it's for helping with re-assembly more than anything else) place and they don't fall out so....
What's important is there is no wear on the actual collar part of the dampener where they go through between mount and camera gimbal mount. Your gimbal mount will not fall apart without those pins.

Ok, thanks. Nevertheless why there are just 2 pins and not on all 4 points.

Because you don't need four. They don't really do anything other than help later when you have to re-attach all four. Hence the opposite corner positioning of the only two. It's the least of your worries when it comes to a very sketchy gimbal mount.

The retainers are present only to prevent separation of the gimbal from the airframe during an extremely hard landing or minor roll over event. During normal operations they do nothing and serve no purpose. They are not necessary to secure the gimbal for normal flight. Two opposing corner security devices is all that's needed. The two corner practice has been common for a very long time among DIY builders using suspension gimbals, which is where gimbal security devices originated.
